Karakuri Circus


Alt Names: alt からくりサーカスalt 傀儡马戏团alt Gánh Xiếc Quái Dịalt Le Cirque de Karakuri
Author: Fujita Kazuhiro
Artist: Fujita Kazuhiro
Genres: Action ActionDrama DramaFantasy FantasyPsychological PsychologicalRomance RomanceShounen ShounenTragedy Tragedy
Type: Manga (Japanese)
Status: Ongoing
Description: Katou Narumi (19) suffers from Zonapha Syndrome, a rare ailment that stops his breathing unless he makes people laugh. He's been forced to abandon his training in Chinese kenpo and return to Japan, where he now works as a clown. The only problem: he's not very funny.

One day he meets Saiga Masaru (11), the recent inheritor of a huge fortune, who gives him the first laugh he's gotten all day. When he realizes Masaru is being pursued by assassins, he steps in to protect the boy, only to discover that instead of conventional weapons, the assassins wield huge, eerie puppets. They soon encounter the mysterious Shirogane (age unknown), who controls a puppet of her own, and claims she was sent from France by Masaru's late grandfather to protect him.

Their paths intertwine and diverge, splitting into two stories: Karakuri and Circus, puppets and performers, tears and laughter. The strange circus of living dolls that spreads Zonapha Syndrome, the human puppets known collectively as the Shirogane, and the puppeteers whose undying grudge set in motion both sides of this performance.

NTR it's NTR!!! lol

Masaru eatin' dat jelly sandwich, sippin' dat Haterade. 

So there's some questions I haven't seen the story address or touch on at all: if that dog was made a Shirogane by the Aqua Vitae that Jin dissolved himself into, why does it attack the automata? If it was made a Shirogane by the Shirogane order, how did it get here and who put it there? Lucille, who is a leader or THE leader of the Shirogane, wasn't aware it existed.

You have spotted a good point. It involves some spoilers from some volumes ahead so all I can tell is it wasn't a plot hole and the questions would be answered some time later

Welcome back funnuraba!

 

Dat Jin smile. Gonna have sweet nightmares tonight.

 

 

I really have to pick this up again. Dropped it after they decided that Masaru, or whatever the little boy is called, should be super strong and great and all. (God I hate his character. Him and the circus fillers were the reason why I dropped this in the first place.)

   Anyway, the manga is looking quite good right now. Will have to read it through and hope that Masaru somehow never appears again, which I doubt will happen. (My wish for his disappearance, that is.). Sorry for being grumpy.

I like Masaru because he isn't a typical shounen elite fighter. He's got a strong heart and is learning little by little from everyone around him gradually becoming a badass instead of being one right off the bat.

Sorry for being grumpy.

Apology not accepted. Masaru Forever.

Sorry to disappoint you but masaru and narumi are like dual main characters, with diferent quest.

What a chapter to end the year on!

Happy holidays funnuraba!

Wang is my finest pupil.

 

M-master finally noticed me.

Oh wow.

I haven't read this for 3 months and came back to 15 new chapters!

 

Thanks so much, funnuraba! :D

This time i'm blaming all this to the guy that bring the book down...
F**king stupid.

 

In his defense, There's no way he would know how bad of a choice that was. He was completely ignorant regarding shiroganes and automatas mins ago.

Good job series for making me care about a backstory I had no interest in. Nice!

Oh boy.. it has been so long since skimmed the raws of this story ten years ago... Nice to see somebody is actually translating it T_T

"Your pant is hideous."

 

*bitch slap*

 

"Imma cut you bitch!"

The dog was like

GOD FREAKING DAMMIT MING XIA!! Stop getting the the f**king way already will you?!!!
You are a burden!! Get it into your head already!!

Dude, she just killed one of the automatas, she dont seems like a burden at all.

Butt kicking women that don't dress like skanks. I love this manga!

GOD FREAKING DAMMIT MING XIA!! Stop getting the the f**king way already will you?!!!
You are a burden!! Get it into your head already!!

Oh man... So sad...

 

Strangely enough though, I never want this journey to end.

This's the first time I keep shouting "f**k" for 3 manga chapter straight...

F**king onion ninja...Making me all teary and shit...

SHIT i think i see it now...

 

Spoiler (highlight to see): the old 'wizard' who made the eldest 4 and massacred the village was the little brother....

Oh come on... highlight here: the fact that that the puppets were there with him made it obvious...
